This Ford roadster hot rod was built by the seller’s father using a Brookville Roadster ’29 Ford steel body and a fabricated frame. Completed in 2025, the build was carried out at Roberts Collision Center of Clearwater, Florida, and power comes from a 283ci Chevrolet V8 with ported-and-polished aluminum cylinder heads, a four-barrel carburetor, and an Edelbrock intake manifold. The car rides on a front drop axle with disc brakes and hairpin radius rods as well as a triangulated four-link rear setup with adjustable coilovers. The engine is linked to a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9” rear end, and other highlights include 15” wire wheels, tan upholstery, a Lokar shifter, and white-dial gauges in a polished bezel. This Highboy roadster hot rod is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with a clean Florida title.

The Brookville Roadster steel body and boxed steel frame are finished in BASF Glasurit blue paint and clearcoat. Exterior details include a polished grille insert, black headlight buckets, a tilt-out windshield, and LED taillights.

Cream-finished 15” wire wheels wear polished hubcaps and are mounted with 165-series Firestone F-560 tires up front and 255/70 Firehawk Indy 500 units out back. The car rides on a drilled front drop axle supported by a transverse leaf spring and polished hairpin radius rods, while the live rear axle features a triangulated four-link setup and adjustable coilovers. Braking is handled by a Wilwood dual-circuit master cylinder with front discs and rear drums.

The cabin features a reclining, adjustable bench seat trimmed in Ponderosa Nauga Leather that extends to the door and kick panels, and they are joined by color-coordinated lap belts. Blue carpets with black binding line the floor, and additional appointments include a Lokar shifter, a concealed USB charging port, and red ambient lighting.

The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of white-dial instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer flanked by gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 5 miles, which is said to represent the distance driven since the build was completed.

An Optima Red Top battery is mounted in the trunk, which is trimmed to complement the cabin.

The 283ci Chevrolet V8 was built using a cast-iron block sourced from a C1 Corvette as well as ported-and-polished aluminum cylinder heads. The engine is further equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, an Accel distributor, coated “rams horn” exhaust manifolds, and a chrome alternator, air cleaner lid, and valve covers. The Cold-Case aluminum radiator is cooled by an electric puller fan.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a rebuilt TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9” rear end with 3.55:1 gearing. The rear axle housing, driveshaft, and undersides have been painted to match the body.

The car is titled in Florida as a 1929 Ford using the VIN A1782413, which appears on a plaque mounted to the firewall.

This 1940 Ford is believed to have been first built as a D/G “Gasser” drag car around 1959 by Gene Kitcha and his partner, Bob Hodge, who then raced the car in a blue livery in Washington. In that guise the car is claimed to have achieved a best trap time of 12.62 seconds in the early 1960s, and it set a D-class record in 1964 at 12.92 with a 104.65 mph according to the seller. Roy Hardin and Clark Smith purchased the car as a rolling chassis in 1964, refinishing it in brown with a new sponsor hand-painted on the sides. Now equipped with a custom 265-based race motor with Hilborn mechanical injection, the car was moved to C-class competition and raced through 1965. After again trading hands the car was stored until the mid 2000s, at which time it was gone through and fitted with a 350ci V8 with an Edelbrock cross-ram intake and two Holley carburetors. It retains its 1960s livery and also has a ’37 Cadillac three-speed, modified suspension and brake components, magnesium Torq Thrust front wheels, and more as described below. Acquired by the current owner in 2012, this 1940 Ford Tudor Gasser is now offered on their behalf with spare parts, the as-raced 1960s built V8 on a stand, and a clean Michigan title.

The car was raced with a blue livery in the early 1960s, and according to the seller the hand-painted Hardin & Smith livery on the brown paintwork was applied after the pair purchased the car as a rolling chassis in 1964. It was raced as number 288 in the C/G class in Washington through 1965, clocking mid-13-second passes.

The rear fenders have been radius cut to allow for clearance of the rear wheels, which were sourced from a ’57 Ford pickup.

A Deluxe front end was installed and the bumper was removed. The hood has cutouts either side.

Torq Thrust-style 15×3.5″ magnesium wheels are mounted with Ansen nuts, and the tires are Union 76s up front. Out back are 15×9.00 M&H Racemaster slicks. Suspension and braking modifications include the following according to the seller:

• ’46 Ford front axle raised 6″
• ’46 spindles with ’40 Ford drums
• Modified spring perches and altered wishbones
• Modified mounts for ’59 shocks
• Cut and sandwiched ’40 leaf springs
• 9′ ladder bars connected to the frame

The rear seats have been removed, and the front seats are covered in black vinyl. Tuck-and-rolled black vinyl also covers the firewall. The pedals and master cylinder are from a ’55 Chevrolet.

A custom cluster with a trio of Stewart Warner gauges was installed in the ’40 dashboard. The steering wheel and column were both sourced from a ’40 pickup. There is no odometer.

Two batteries are mounted in the trunk, one of which is earmarked for starting. The gas tank has been removed and replaced with a filler, and a weight bar was added out back.

To recommission the car for use, a 350ci V8 was installed in 2007. It is topped by an Edelbrock cross-ram intake with two Holley carburetors. The engine is mounted 14″ back in the chassis with a hand-built front plate.

The seller tells us the stand-mounted engine that was removed is in as-raced condition from 1965. It is based on a 265ci block that was blueprinted, balanced, and bored .030″-over and fitted with the following:

• Forged pistons with a 13:1 compression ratio
• Mickev Thompson aluminum connecting rods
• Harland Sharp roller rockers and chromoly pushrods
• .520-lift roller camshaft
• Double-roller timing chain
• 327-specification ported-and-polished heads
• Baffled oil pan
• High-pressure oil pump
• Vertex magneto
• Independent bank cooling with two temperature gauges

Topping the engine is a Hilborn mechanical fuel injection system and finned valve covers. Custom square-port headers are also mounted.

The transmission is a ’37 Cadillac/LaSalle three-speed linked to a Cadillac slip yoke on a heavy-duty tube with mechanical universal joints. The rear axle is a ’56 Ford pickup Dana 44 with Jeep-sourced gears and machined axles, according to the build details.

Memorabilia and a build summary are included.
